If I could paint, I’d paint you a symphony If I could sing, I’d sing you the Starry Night If I could act, I’d recite you a ballet If I could dance, I’d dance you a soliloquy
But I am a poet And all I can do Is write you my heart

I scream when I see you, when I hear you When I smell you and I cannot feel you But nobody hears me, because it’s all inside Sometimes you can see the pain, from tide to tide Sometimes you let me in, and there, I salvage Something from the sin that takes away the rage Of the deep, black storm that plagues my life That sets on me a swarm of regret, guilt, strife I am in eternal wait for the few and far between Encounters of our fate that make my heart clean But ignore my scream for now, I can wait until a day When I can again vow to, for two more minutes, stay

Anyone else have the issue where when you do something you know is wrong or you feel guilty about something you have to do something good and at least seemingly productive? I have this issue. So tonight I made a blog. :P
